I love Sepang and I can't wait for this weekend to come around. Apart from too much rain there isn't much that is going to ruin this weekend for me. If Roy can will the Chin off the line this week, get Homoton and SebVet to tangle and at least one spin from Massa in the wet my weekend with be a royal flush.

right, streaming worked great but next big question time. I'm based out of germany for work for the next few months & I need me some real life gp's. Who's been where & whats recommended? Will be myself & my wife, looking for stands & happy to fly or drive out of germany.

Shattered the german gp's been moved to cologne this year too but will probably still go.

cheers, Tim

Monza is fun but shit viewing and run by Italians so ... ummm. Spa is again not great for viewing as its a big open track though seats on the entry to Pouhon are cool. Hungary is way good for stands where you see plenty of track. Personally i would go to Hungary, German and Belgian GPs...Monza may keep the Mrs happy but without kanga tv this year i think any live gp will be a challenge for understanding the race

But it would be worse then Aus GP for viewing...surely? Thats why I have never gone. All that money to sit in seats where cars blaze by and you see them for 3 seconds per lap? The atmosphere may be cool...but for a single bloke Hungary has a lot more obtainable talent on display

My missus didn't rate Monza. Fawking hot, and the toilets are fkn appalling. They don't clean them until they're hosed out on Monday it seems. Putrid rancid mess.

We had outside turn 1 seating, Pretty good view with lots of action in the chicane...... but post race we left immediately as there isn't much to hang about for as the joint is a fair old mess and everyone speaks this stupid fkn language that I don't understand.

Milan and shopping I thought would keep most ladies happy. Food was good, Accom pretty cheap...but yes, the GP is a bit meh having been to other European GPs and race meets where things are actually organised. You sat where I was meant to but got dicked as they moved the colleciton stand for my tickets without telling anyone and nobody actually knew at the track. Was a joke and a good way to blow $600-800 or whatever it cost

Though I should point out I think there are 4 functioning toilet seats in Portugal. Every damn toilet seems to be missing the seat....and there was one time where I had to build a nest out of toilet paper just so my petite bottom didn’t freeze on the cold porcelain.

where's the pics of the monster energy girls???

I went past - omg.

Ass was hanging our the bottom of every skirt. Unfortunately it got cold and more clothes went on, but at the start of the day it was a sight to see...

Correct on all counts Roy.

Are we to now call you, The Cassowary?

I noticed this once in Venezia > I finally found the foot-operated flush lever.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
